Image
In the ninth episode of Koffee With Karan 7 , the couch brought together two stars who started out as debutants together but have now carved a niche for themselves. This week, Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon graced the couch who debuted in Heropanti and are starring in Ganapath . While Tiger's saucy answers made him win the rapid fire round, Kriti was quick enough to win the quiz round. But, one of the answers from Tiger scandalised Karan Johar. During the glam zone quiz round, Karan asked them to name the female actor who has played both Amitabh Bachchan’s mother and love interest on screen. Tiger answered uncertainly, “Rekha ma’am?” Karan Johar was in shock before he said, “What? She never… played his mother,” and said that it was Waheeda Rahman and Rakhee.

Koffee With Karan 7: Tiger Shroff reveals he was 'depressed' after the failure of Heropanti 2 at the box office: 'I was heartbroken'

Image
In the ninth episode of Koffee With Karan 7 , the couch brought together two stars who started out as debutants together but have now carved a niche for themselves. This week, Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon graced the couch who debuted in Heropanti and are starring in Ganapath . During the conversation, the actor spoke about his recent setback with Heropanti 2 and how heartbroken he was due to the box office failure. With taking the name of the film, Karan Johar asked Tiger Shroff how he deals with a huge setback like this. Tiger said, “I was heartbroken. I was depressed. I’m just a very extreme person, I wouldn’t say I sacrificed a lot because I like what I do, and I don’t have a social life and too many friends…” Karan added, “You did a lot of failure eating.” Tiger agreed to it saying, “I’m an emotional eater.” Kriti Sanon was quite surprised considering they were shooting for Ganapath and that Tiger Shroff 'masks' it really well. When Karan asked whether this setback as...

EXCLUSIVE: Multiplexes score a sixer by showing India vs Pakistan’s Asia Cup match live; record 80% occupancy, sell 20,000 tickets with collections amounting to Rs. 1.20 crores approx.

Image
Over the past few years, several theatres and multiplexes have begun showing live matches on the big screen. The trend has picked up as instead of going to the stadiums and paying for expensive tickets, one can rather watch the match in the confines of an air-conditioned auditorium at cheaper rates. Also, if the occupancy is encouraging, the claps and hoots give viewers a near stadium-like experience. Theatres have shown IPL and World Cup matches in the past. On Sunday, August 28, many centres across the country played the India vs Pakistan T20 Asia Cup match. And they hit a sixer as the response was better than expected. It also came at a great time when the exhibition sector has been struggling as big-ticket films like  Laal Singh Chaddha, Raksha Bandhan and Liger bombed badly. Puneet Gupta, AVP - Corporate Communications, Inox Leisure Limited, said, “We got decent footfalls, as compared to the previous cricket matches. We played it in 30 cities and 60 screens. The match nex...

Image
The year 2022 may probably be one of the best years for Kartik Aaryan.

As Laal Singh Chaddha, Raksha Bandhan and Liger fail, theatre owners shut down screens till release of Brahmastra; Manoj Desai temporarily shuts down Galaxy cinema

Image
When August commenced, exhibitors were gearing up for an eventful month. Aamir Khan’s  Laal Singh Chaddha  and Akshay Kumar’s  Raksha Bandhan  were expected to do roaring business. Sadly, both films failed to entice viewers. The exhibition sector was still hopeful as Vijay Deverakonda’s  Liger  promised to be a fun, massy entertainer. However, the word of mouth was horrible. Though it held on the weekends, it crashed on Monday. These three films were expected to dominate a chunk of the screens in multiplexes. Due to their underperformance, the theatres had no option but to reduce the number of shows. Meanwhile, other films like Anurag Kashyap’s thriller  Dobaaraa , the Hollywood film  Nope  etc too failed to attract audiences. As a result, several theatres have decided to partially shut down screens. Many have reduced shows already. A source from the exhibition sector said, “When most films are not performing, it becomes difficult to keep ...

Liger makers shelled out Rs. 25 cr to feature Mike Tyson in Vijay Deverakonda – Ananya Panday starrer

Image
Former boxing champ Mike Tyson walked away with a staggering Rs. 20-25 crores for his inane cameo appearance in  Liger . Enterprising filmmaker Puri Jagannadh thought he had hit a jackpot when he got Mike Tyson for  Liger . Tyson who? No I am just kidding, mimicking Mr Tyson who in a recent podcast claimed he had no recollection of doing a ‘Bollywood’ film called  Liger . Everyone who saw the film seconds Mr Tyson’s sentiment. Everyone who saw the film would like to forget the brackish taste it leaves in the mouth. But the question to be asked is, how did he get into Liger  in the first place? What box office sense does that make? Whose idea was it? A bit of probing reveals that Karan Johar who co-produced the Hindi version of  Liger was totally opposed to the idea of inviting Tyson. Vijay Deverakonda too was not kicked by the idea. It was entirely Puri’s idea. “Puri had a thing about working with Tyson. Otherwise today’s audience knows nothing about Tyson...

Kartik Aaryan refuses Rs. 9 cr. offer; says NO to Paan masala endorsement

Image
At a time when senior superstars, Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar who should know better, are brazenly selling cancer (a.k.a gutka, paan masala) to the nation, Bollywood’s youngest superstar Kartik Aaryan has resolutely said no to a tempting offer to endorse Paan Masala. When I double-checked this news with a prominent ad guru, he confirmed it saying, “That’s right. That boy Kartik Aaryan has said no to around Rs. 8-9 crore offer to endorse paan masala. Kartik seems to have principles, a rare commodity in today’s actors who suffer from the gift of the ‘grab’. Saying no to such big money is not easy. But Kartik is conscious of his responsibility as a youth icon.” Former chairperson of the censor board and producer Pahlaj Nihalani also endorses Kartik Aayan’s decision not to endorse harmful products. “Paan masala is killing people. Being encouraged to take gutka and paan masala by Bollywood role models is definitely damaging to the nation’s health.” Akshay Kumar has a...

SCOOP: The REAL REASON why Karan Johar put Tiger Shroff-Rashmika Mandanna starrer Screw Dheela on the back burner

Image
Recently, Karan Johar confirmed that his next with Tiger Shroff, titled Screw Dheela has been delayed by a year. Bollywood Hungama did a bit of investigation and discovered that there are multiple reasons for the film to be kept on hold and one of the key reasons is financials not falling in place. According to our sources, Tiger Shroff had done the paperwork for Screw Dheela for a sum of Rs. 35 crores, and once the film landed itself in the market for sale, it couldn't find any respectable buyers at the asking price. "In today's world, actors charging such big bucks makes a film financially unviable. Profit sharing is the way to go," revealed a source. "When Karan went to Tiger to express his concern, the actor didn't agree to lower the price. Karan was keen to get Tiger on board for a sum around the Rs. 20 crore mark, but Tiger and his team stuck to Rs. 35 crores. Their idea was - one failure can't impact his positioning to this extent," the sour...
